Mage: The Ascension
Jun. 9th, 2011 05:06 pmMage: The Ascension, "A storytelling game of modern magick." You have Awakened, and discovered that reality is a lie that can be rewritten by your will. Can you help lead humanity to Ascension before it's frozen in sterile stasis by the Technocracy or torn apart by the insane Marauders and demonic Nephandi?
( This is still one of my favorite games. )
Given that I only had middling opinions on Mage: The Awakening (the magic system was a little too rote-dependent for my playstyle tastes, and the world-build and backstory were nowhere near as good), I’ll probably keep playing Mage: The Ascension for a few more decades. Having a spare book with most of the critical concepts and setting details couldn’t hurt.
